“…We have shown here that in early glau coma the PERG is even more often abnormal than the VEP. This abnormal PERG in glau coma has also been reported in 3 eyes by Bobak et al [11] and in unilateral glaucoma by Wanger and Persson [10],…”

The pattern-elicited electroretinogram (PERG) was recorded in 75 patients known with glaucoma, each one of them having a normal visual acuity, and compared with the results in normal test subjects. Although there is a great overlap between normal and glaucomatous eyes, a lower average amplitude and a delay in latency is recorded in the case of glaucoma. A correlation was sought between the PERG outcome on the one hand and different glaucomatous parameters (visual field loss, intraocular pressure, cup disc/ratio) on the other; this could only be confirmed for the cup/disc ratio. In beginning glaucoma the PERG is more often disturbed than the VECP.

“…After Maffei and Fiorentini [ 1 ] provided evidence that a patterned stimulus in electroretinography may contribute to the investiga tion of optic nerve dysfunction, various reports have appeared on the pattern ERG (PERG) in demyelinating disease of the optic nerve [2][3][4][5][6].…”

“…Since the 1980s, many researchers have used PERG to study abnor malities associated with optic nerve disorders, although the re cording techniques used in early research varied considerably from study to study (33,34) . This, in part, explains the discrepancies among these early studies.…”

Pattern electroretinography is used to assess the function of the inner retinal la yers, particularly the retinal ganglion cell layer, using a reversing checkerboard or grating pattern that maintains a constant overall mean luminance over time. A normal transient response comprises a positive component of the wave (P50) followed by a longer negative component of the wave (N95). Glaucomatous optic neuropathy causes progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells, potentially detectable as abnormalities on examination, particularly in the N95 component. Therefore, pattern electroretinography may be useful in the diagnosis and evaluation of glaucoma. The present article is an updated review of published data regarding the use of pattern electroretinography for the detection of glaucoma-induced retinal changes. Keywords
